Don't rule out bags based on price alone. You can do a combination of static & air drops using spindles/springs up front & bags in the rear only. Set them up w/some schrader valves & it's pretty cheap (<$100 difference vs. drop coils).

The draw-back is it's also pretty basic so there's no playing around or dumping the air for the 'on the rails' look. Check out posts 12~14 here for ride height & costs on a budget 'combo' set-up . ..... http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...highlight=bags .

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
